Recap

Today we were able to make some serious progress for the led lights. Here’s an image from today:

Reusing broken led rope

So we figured out the led rope can be wired from either side, so we can use our new heat shrink wrap reinforcement technique to attach the leads.

Turret

• Fixed the bugs with incorrect value mapping from the joystick subsystem.
• Attached new leads on the laser sight for the turret, so we should be able to control it via a transistor.

Audio to LED’s

• We should be able to finish by next week! I plan on writing up some accompanying software soon.
• http://freshfoo.com/blog/pulseaudio_monitoring provides a description of reading pulse audio’s audio
• We should be able to use this for the visualization
• Lastly, we plan on putting color tissue paper over the LEDs to give the sections color

Safety First

• We’re gonna try and purchase a fume extractor for all the soldering… no reason not to have one
